Today's building networks consisting of a mix of passive copper cabling and radio stations are no longer up to date with increasing fiber optic house connections (FTTH) and growing mobility. The aim is to establish fiber optic cables as a backbone for active fiber-wireless networks in buildings. In this project, the advantages of fiber-coupled network nodes for radio stations and multimedia outlets will be exploited by further development of the passive structured cabling technology. Innovative components with higher functionality and reduced energy consumption make the technology marketable.

More than 100 years ago, scientists invented the mobile camera to take pictures at any location. More than 30 years ago, engineering scientists invented the mobile phone to make calls anywhere. Now it is time to invent a mobile material detector to determine materials of any surface as well as inside an object at any location.

The characterization of complex materials and moving objects in an arbritrary environment is a key challenge to sensor technology (eg for 3D material maps). For such complex tasks novel sensors need to be developed that adaptively canadjust the waveform, frequency bandwidth, carrier frequency and observation sector to the measurement environment and material properties.

It is the aim of the EuroPIC project to bring the application of photonic integrated micro-systems in advanced products within reach for a broad class of SMEs by reducing their required investment costs by more than an order of magnitude. This will be done by developing a knowledge-based technology for production of Indium Phosphide based Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) that will combine an increase in flexibility with a dramatic reduction of cost. It will lay the foundation for a breakthrough of PICs into a wide range of applications.
